According to the table, the accumulated payments for the period from April 1, 2023, to July 31, 2026, amount to 12 billion leks, equivalent to about 130.5 million euros at the official exchange rate of 91.94 leks per euro.

A first-instance judge would be entitled to a total of 7,514,880 leks, or about 81,737 euros, with 605 beneficiaries in this category.

For the Supreme Court, High Council of Justice and other categories, the accumulated benefit would amount to 8,015,872 leks, or about 87,186 euros, for 74 beneficiaries.

Second-instance judges would receive 7,765,376 leks, or about 84,461 euros, each, covering 170 beneficiaries.

For judges at the Special Court against Corruption and Organised Crime (GJKKO) and prosecutors at the Special Prosecution Office (SPAK), the accumulated payment for the 40-month period would amount to 13,176,090 leks, or about 143,312 euros, for 35 beneficiaries.

The table also includes other positions, including investigators, judicial police officers and other categories of magistrates.

In a post on X, Rama said the Administrative Court ruling concerned not only an immediate 51% increase in salaries, but also a demand for payment of arrears dating back to April 2023.

“See in the attached table how much each judge would personally receive tomorrow as back pay, if the finance minister were to break the law and follow this extra-parliamentary decision-making,” Rama wrote.

Rama described the Administrative Court’s ruling as a case in which an interim measure was being used not only to suspend an administrative act but also to require that an act be carried out.

The issue is expected to be considered by parliament on Sept. 17.
